827 Weaponized Media

23-08-2020

Doesn't it seem odd that over 90 percent of the MSM reporting on president Trump is negative? When did that kind of bias begin? Surely, when I used to watch the news back in the day, what I saw was mostly true? There used to be a mythology about journalists as honest seekers after the truth against the powers-that-be. They exposed corruption and malfeasance, they didn't create it. It could be the news was always a propaganda machine but were able to hide it, or it could be their virtual monopoly was so profitable that they could afford to keep a wall around the newsroom that kept the temptations of the world out? But it's not like that now; the media has become as powerful a political weapon as in any Communist nation of past or present, which might explain what happened...

Most likely, the weakness of Capitalism was exploited and all the opinion-making institutions were sold to the highest bidder, and upstarts were financed for the exact purpose of acting as brainwashers to get what their owners wanted through democracy. They control the narrative by first stating their premise, which is the most important part because it keeps their goals always in front, then constantly mischaracterizing their opponents as dishonest, stupid or evil, while propping up or ignoring the malfeasance of their allies. Luckily, if I'm not again being fooled, and if there actually are true facts & stories out there, I can use technology to by-pass MSM indoctrination. Specifically, I watch news aggregators on YouTube who have sensibilities similar to mine, who sort through 100s of stories every day and suss out what's true and what's not. I can spend as little as 10 minutes keeping up with world events. I listen to Scott Adams, Tim Pool, Styxhexenhammer666, and Joe Rogan. All of these guys are Old School Liberals like me who have no other place to go.
